summary
This is a completely undeveloped area with potential for multiple sport and / or trad routes (multi-pitch). Rock quality is very good.
description
The Usambara Mountains of northeastern Tanzania in tropical East Africa, comprise the easternmost ranges of the Eastern Arc Mountains. The ranges of approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi) long and about half that wide, are situated in the Lushoto District of the Tanga Region. They were formed nearly two million years ago by faulting and uplifting, and are composed of Precambrian metamorphic rocks. They are split into two sub-ranges; the West Usambaras being higher than the East Usambaras, which are nearer the coast and receive more rainfall.

Rap in from the top
where to stay
Lushoto town or any number of the lodges in the area
ethic
No precedent set. Ideal for multi-pitch trad or sport climbing
